That, too, is not a wreck original. It was originally published in
Road & Track, or Car & Driver (can't remember which) by one of the
regular columnists, whose name I also can't remember. Somewhere in my
archive of 10,000 emails I have permission from the publisher for me
to reprint it on my website (which I haven't), but about 30 minutes of
looking for it have found me brushing off a lot of hay and no needles

Thanks, but do I need more links or hints. Wading through all of
